The bullying of a Palestinian child by Israeli soldiers has drawn massive outrage on social media. “Why do Palestinians teach their children to hate Israel?” They don’t. Generations of Palestinian children have been taught to hate Israel by Israeli soldiers just like these ones. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🇮🇱♾️

Image features a theater marquee displaying a provocative sociopolitical statement on a city street. The sign reads: "DEVIANTS ARE SACRIFICED TO INCREASE GROUP SOLIDARITY."
This phrase highlights a concept in sociology regarding how punishing those who break social norms can strengthen the cohesion of the remaining group.

That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
